   The Tower, Flora Carr’s debut novel, is a bold and intimate retelling of that period of confinement. It depicts a Mary stripped of her power, dignity and retinue of “jewelled ladies”, a woman who must now rely only on her inherent “female power” and the support of her two untested chambermaids, Jane and Cuckoo, and of her loyal friend ...

   When does the tower take place?

   • The Tower takes place between 1567 and 1568, when Mary was held captive at Lochleven Castle. It’s no mean feat to set most of a novel in a single room – just ask Emma Donoghue – but Carr succeeds admirably in depicting the joylessness of Mary’s incarceration and the various indignities to which she is subjected. Terror hangs over every page.

   Is the tower a feminist novel?

   • The Tower is of course a historical novel and one faithful to historical fact, but it is history viewed from a 21st century angle, being also a feminist novel, describing a man’s world in which women, even those of royal or noble birth, are inferior beings, victims if they are seen as week.
